Chapter 252 The purpose of Li Qian, Qin Hui took the bait
(Please subscribe again later)
But this time Li Qian didn't want to go against the civil servants.
Those who wrote to ask His Majesty the Emperor to re-establish the extension were all lower-level civil servants.
Officials such as Qin Hui and Cai Jing, including ministers and above, rarely post on such posts.
If you think about it carefully, you will understand the reason. Now that the Hanlin Academy is in such decline, it is people like them who benefit.
The deputy examiners and co-examiners of the Hanlin Academy, the ownership of Sandingjia, the number of ministers in the Ministry of Rites, the choice of prime minister...
The Hanlin Academy is like a fallen giant. His legacy and even his body have been divided up by other yamen in the court, nourishing them.
Now that this giant who has been down for so many years and is almost dead wants to be resurrected, will those who divided him up be willing?
However, Li Qian did not take these high-ranking officials and ministers into consideration when making decisions. His confidence came from two aspects.
First, although the Hanlin Academy declined, it was only a hundred years away from its prosperity, just one generation.
People's memories have not faded, and subconsciously, both ordinary people and many officials of the imperial court still think that the Hanlin Academy is still the holy place for civil servants.
If someone really dares to stand up and blatantly oppose the revival of the Hanlin Academy, then he will definitely face the scorn of most officials.
Because this goes against political correctness.
Of course, Li Qian did not intend to do things with great fanfare and under the slogan of reviving the Hanlin Academy.
He just wants to restore the Jingyan system, which is another source of confidence for him.
The so-called Jingyan is to select knowledgeable civil servants to give lectures to the emperor and help him learn various classics and meanings.
In the activities of this situation, the absolute status of monarch and ministers has undergone some changes.
With a teacher-student relationship, the emperor is no longer completely supreme, and his ministers are no longer absolutely inferior.
Otherwise, why is the imperial master a supreme honor for civil servants and pursued by so many people?
In addition to this nominal benefit, civil servants also have substantial benefits.
As long as the emperor is willing to listen to the lectures of civil servants, he will be subtly influenced by them and even guided by them.
Based on Li Qian's understanding of these people, the civil servants would never give up any opportunity to influence the emperor.
So as long as he proposes to reopen Jingyan, even people like Qin Hui and Cai Jing will not refuse...
He planned this in his heart, but Li Qian did not act rashly, but planned silently in his heart.
You must take the initiative in everything, and the reopening of the economy is no exception.
Naturally, Li Qian couldn't go to the pole, so he begged these civil servants to reopen the scriptures.
If he really did that, Li Qian would be on the defensive if something unexpected happened and there was disagreement between the two parties later.
The situation he wanted was for the civil servants to come over and beg him to reopen the Continental Extension. Under the pleading of the ministers, who would hang themselves if they did not reopen the Continental Extension, the soft-hearted Emperor had to reluctantly agree. Let’s try Jingyan first…
But it is also difficult to create such a situation. The civil servants have already encountered difficulties twice with Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Mu Zong, and now their enthusiasm has diminished a lot.
In addition, the Hanlin Academy has been in decline for so many years, and there is no Hanlin Academy to stand up and shout out for this matter...
Thinking of these obstacles, Li Qian shook his head gently.
No matter when, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Whether calculated mentally or not, as long as he grasps the greedy temperament of these civil servants, Li Qian feels that he can still control them...
Today, in the Ziwei Palace, a eunuch suddenly came to the Hanlin Academy and said that His Majesty the Emperor had sent a decree to summon the top scholar of the Jin Dynasty to the palace to meet the emperor.
Zhuge Liang naturally did not delay and hurried into the palace following the eunuch who came to deliver the order.
Although he left, this news was like a stone hitting the stagnant water of the Hanlin Academy, causing some ripples on the surface.
How many years has it been since the Imperial Palace sent someone to the Hanlin Academy?
However, after the initial disturbance, the Imperial Academy returned to a stagnant state.
It's just a person summoned. It's normal for His Majesty the Emperor to be curious about the new number one scholar. However, most of this curiosity is short-lived and will not have any impact on other officials in the Hanlin Academy...
However, not long after Zhuge Liang entered the palace, the news spread to the ears of various important figures in the court.
The adults didn't react much to this, and just dismissed it as meaningless news.
Zhuge Liang's residence in the past two days is no longer a secret to them, but at this time and not then, they can no longer use any extra tactics against a sixth-rank official of the imperial court.
Those dishonorable methods must be eliminated and replaced by fair and honest recruitment in the government...
Today is not only the day when Li Qian summons Zhuge Liang into the palace, but also the day when Qin Hui routinely reports to Li Qian and discusses memorials.
"Prime Minister Qin, Your Majesty, please come in."
The old eunuch glanced at Qin Hui with a smile, then turned around and led him the way.
Qin Hui was deep in thought at the moment and subconsciously moved his steps, following the old eunuch towards the palace.
However, when he approached the political hall, Qin Hui was awakened by a burst of chatter and laughter.
Is there anyone else inside?
He came back to his senses and looked up at the old eunuch, but the old eunuch only showed his back and had no intention of explaining to him.
Qin Hui frowned slightly and followed the old eunuch in.
What he saw was that the person chatting and laughing with His Majesty the Emperor surprised him.
"Prime Minister Qin is here!"
Li Gan smiled and greeted Qin Hui: "Sit down first!"
Naturally, he also saw the look on Qin Hui's face, which was exactly what Li Qian wanted.
"I've met Prime Minister Qin."
Zhuge Liang stood up and slightly cupped his hands with him as a salute.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Qin Hui thanked him, he glanced at Zhuge Liang unexpectedly, nodded in response, and sat aside.
"Is Prime Minister Qin here to discuss the memorial with me today?"
Li Qian looked at the young eunuch who was standing behind Qin Hui, holding a stack of memorials. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "Why don't you just put these memorials here today, and you and I will talk tomorrow."
Qin Hui frowned slightly and looked at Zhuge Liang on the side with his peripheral vision. This was not a good sign.
"Your Majesty, these memorials brought by me are important matters. Many of them have been delayed for two days. If you don't approve them today, I'm afraid things will be delayed."
He cupped his hands and said, "Why don't I wait here for a while longer, until His Majesty's business is finished, and then we can discuss these memorials."
"this……"
Li Qian's tone paused slightly, showing just the right amount of hesitation.
Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, seemed to be very good at watching, and he immediately saluted and said: "Your Majesty, important national affairs cannot be delayed. Please retire first."
"Huh? No!"
Li Qian immediately sat up straight, stretched out his hand to stop him, frowned and said: "I haven't finished speaking just now, how can you leave?"
"Your Majesty, is there any reason to abandon national affairs because of this matter?"
Zhuge Liang's attitude was extremely resolute: "I must not be a sycophant who deceives the king. What's more, now that Prime Minister Qin is still here, how dare I let Prime Minister Qin wait?"
Having said that, he stood up.
"You still can't leave." Li Qian said directly without thinking: "It won't be too late after I have discussed these memorials with Prime Minister Qin!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Hui suddenly spoke: "I have nothing important to do today. Your Majesty can just talk to Zhuge Xiuzhuan first. I can wait for a while."
The corners of Li Gan's lips raised slightly, and he understood that Qin Hui had taken the bait.
Of course, you can't say it directly on the surface. How can it make sense to let a low-ranking official from the sixth rank speak here, and let a prime minister wait beside you?
So Li Qian's face was full of emotion, but he was hesitant and refused to make a decision.
Zhuge Liang on the other side looked even more frightened: "How dare you let Prime Minister Qin wait here? It's better to go to the side hall and wait!"
Qin Hui glanced at him meaningfully, then smiled and said: "It's okay, I also want to hear Zhuge Xiuzhan's opinions."
"Then let's listen together!"
Without asking Zhuge Liang to say anything, Li Qian made the decision directly.
A flash of hesitation flashed across Zhuge Liang's face, but he still saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Where were you talking about?"
Li Qian returned to his cheerful appearance.
But it is also difficult to create such a situation. The civil servants have already encountered difficulties twice with Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Mu Zong, and now their enthusiasm has diminished a lot.
In addition, the Hanlin Academy has been in decline for so many years, and there is no Hanlin Academy to stand up and shout out for this matter...
